It's a wonderful boutique resort J that has offered a harmonious retreat from the hustle and bustle of Pattaya since 1984. Set in idyllic surroundings, visitors can stay in one of the charming, traditional villas, enjoy the use of 3 different swimming pools and eat in its award winning restaurant. With a chef who has been with the Sugar Hut some 30 years now, you can be sure that the Thai Food you sample here will be authentic, genuine fare, never fusion or Thai dishes amended to Western tastes. Certainly it’s the place to come if you want to eat Thai food as it should be enjoyed in a lovely setting with traditional Thai music being gently played and surrounded by the lush green of a myriad different trees and plants from all over the world. Children will also delight in the parrots and peacocks that roam the grounds and at night the whole place is even more magical, lit by the resort’s beautiful soft lighting. Sugar Hut is the enduring love of Dr Sunya, known to many as the owner of Pattaya International Hospital . He can name you each of the amazing trees planted at the resort and tell you from which country they originate and is certainly not a man to let the grass grow under his feet! Constantly renovating and upgrading you can see the beautiful natural teak floor at the centre of the restaurant that will gradually be introduced throughout the entire resort. In a time of medical tourism when it has become popular for people to visit Pattaya in order to combine a medical procedure with a holiday the resort is ideally placed, conjoined as it is with Pattaya International Hospital to offer a complete package and the perfect place for rest, recuperation and relaxation. Perhaps for a well needed detox or to enjoy Yoga or Pilates by the pool? Certainly Dr Sunya is at the forefront of every anti aging procedure and extremely knowledgeable as to the processes we should all be adopting to lead a healthy life in our latter years. However, if the atmosphere down the slope is one of calm and relaxation then further up towards the main road there is far more busy activity where preparations are well underway for “Sunsabella”. Rather charmingly named after Sun (Dr Sunya) Sa (Samak his father) and Bella ( Isabella his mother) this will be a new addition to the resort opening towards the end of next year.., It will include a Jazz pit to feature live,open air music and have a great Thai food and bakery. In fact for those of you who are fans of PIC Kitchen you will already know what to expect as the whole place will be moving here to its new home - traditional Thai buildings and all, to continue offering customer delicious Thai and Western food Watch this space because Pattaya Trader will be peeking through the bushes to keep an eye on the progress of this exciting project. 22 PATTAYA TRADER Issue 216 | NOVEMBER 2018 TRAVEL & ATTRACTIONS TRAVEL 24 PATTAYA TRADER Issue 216 | NOVEMBER 2018 By GLORIA JONES MAMA’S BAR AND GUESTHOUSE f you happen to be strolling along Jomtien beach road just between Soi 7 & 8 you will find Soi Whitehouse, easily identified by the I Splendid Resort sign at the start of the road. From there just a few metres on the left you will find what was once Big Mama’s Bar now going through something of a transformation. For newly named Mama’s Bar is now the home of Alex and Prebsi who is making Big Changes! This bar used to just concentrate on the night time traffic but Alex has introduced some great food. Now you can enjoy: Breakfast - from 7 a.m. until 12 pm for only 99 baht including juice and either tea or coffee Lunchtime Specials at only 99 baht - from 12 until 2 pm Then Evening meals served from 6 pm until 10 pm, again at the magic 99 baht price point Anyone who knows Alex will know how he loves to cook and is more than happy to prepare food for his customers with his great team. Everything at the bar is made with loving care from fresh - there is never the rather worrying ping of the microwave that you might hear at other places we shall not mention! You can check the specials on their Facebook page “Mamas bar and guest house”. On the Sunday that The Trader was there, the special was Wienerschnitzel a well known favourite dish with Germans, Austrians and the many Danish visitors to Soi Whitehouse. The portion was a fantastic size for only 99 baht and I have to say everything was perfectly cooked including the accompanying potatoes and carrots. It is best to get there early to avoid disappointment. Recently when Spare Ribs was the special of the day - again at the incredible price of 99 baht - they sold out! So get along to Soi Whitehouse, and if you would like to hire the whole bar for a birthday or private function get in touch with Alex and he can organise the entire event for you including all the catering. Believe me none of your guests will go home hungry!

Dan Johnston at the helm. Malcolm was a partner at Revolver Records U.K. for many years, has been extensively in artist management and organizes the biggest soul weekend event in the U.K. every year. Dan’s knowledge of the dance music scene is extensive and so, together with Malcolm, will be formulating a radio station aimed at a younger audience than that of 96FM. This means that the two Pattaya People Radio medias will cover a much larger spectrum of listeners providing a bigger stage for advertisers. Also essential Ex Pat information and events can be covered more widely.

  • Why We Currently Miss the Full Potential of Head-Mounted Displays in Vehicles
    Get to the Head: Why We Currently Miss the Full Potential of Head-Mounted Displays in Vehicles Christian Mai Kai Holländer LMU Munich LMU Munich [email protected] [email protected] ABSTRACT Current concepts of automated vehicles include an increasing usage of internal infotainment displays. Although being visually appealing, such display concepts introduce drawbacks in terms of ergonomics – neck stress and unnatural interaction with a display in the side door – and increase the price. Additionally, occupants of a vehicle often occlude screens for others or their seating orientation might complicate viewing a specific display. Other design concepts introduce the usage of hand-held devices to transmit information about the car. We propose to use augmented and virtual reality head-mounted displays instead of fixed screens to overcome these issues. While concepts that based on displays and handheld devices consequently design for the use of these devices, there are no concepts that showcase interior designs for HMD usage. Current advances to use HMDs inside the car just showcase the possibility to wear a headset while being in the car. Important questions for the interior concept, such as the storage of HMDs, the integration with the existing HMD and the consequent use of the interior to support interaction in VR, have not yet been addressed. We present two exemplary scenarios that showcase the possible impact a consequent design for HMDs could have on the vehicles interior. With our proposal we want to foster the discussion on the possibilities of HMDs and the Figure 1: We present an example of how needs on the interior design to make use of the full potential of VR experiences in the car.

    2014 q60 manual Continue Why didn't Infiniti offer this? Hand-held gearboxes become a dying breed. Many manufacturers have thrown them even on their sports cars, leaving aftermarket tuning companies to bear the burden of keeping them alive. Enthusiast Auto Group in San Antonio, Texas plans to build the first Ferrari 458 with leadership, and the company has just announced that it will manually swap 2020 Toyota Supra.The practice of manually replacing new sports cars seems to be taking off and a company called Concept and Performance in Phoenix, Arizona has just built the Infiniti No.60 Red Sport with a six-speed manual transmission. Infinity Infinity Concept z Performance Infiniti No.60 replaced the outgoing G37 Coupe, which was available with a 3.7-liter V6 paired with an additional (but rare) six-version manual transmission. With the advent of the 60-liter V6 the 3.7-liter V6 was eventually replaced by a new 3.0-liter twin-turbo factory producing 400 horsepower in the Red Sport guise. The extra power of the two-turbo engine was welcomed, but Infiniti no longer offered a manual, resulting in a seven-speed automatic as a lone transmission option. We always felt that 60 pounds would be great with a manual transmission and the concept of th clearly agreed. After measuring the car, Concept learned that the bolt model in the 60s was close to the Nissan 370 manual gearbox, allowing you to perform a swap (albeit with some additional modifications).

  • The Case of Vingroup and the Automotive Industry
    Vietnam’s Industrialization Ambitions: The Case of Vingroup and the Automotive Industry By Le Hong Hiep EXECUTIVE SUMMARY • Vietnam has officially admitted its failure to achieve industrialized economy status by 2020. This failure is partly due to its inability to grow a strong local manufacturing base and develop key strategic industries. • The participation of Vingroup, the country’s largest private conglomerate, in the automotive industry has sparked new hopes for Vietnam’s industrialization drive. The company, through its subsidiary Vinfast, aims to become a leading automaker in Southeast Asia with an annual capacity of 500,000 units and a localization ratio of 60 per cent by 2025. • Challenges that Vinfast faces include its unproven track record in the industry; the limited size of the national car market; the lack of infrastructure to support car usage in Vietnam; the intense competition from foreign brands; and its initial reliance on imported technologies and know-hows. • However, Vinfast enjoys certain advantages in the domestic market, including the large potential of the Vietnamese automotive market; its freedom as a new automaker to define its business strategies without having to deal with legacy issues; Vingroup’s sound business and financial performance and its ecosystem; strong support from the Vietnamese government; and nationalist sentiments that will encourage certain Vietnamese customers to choose its products. 19-J05102 01 Trends_2019-02.indd 7 16/1/19 12:26 PM • If Vinfast is successful, it will boost Vietnam’s GDP growth and reinvent the country’s automotive industry. Its success will also contribute significantly to the realization of Vietnam’s industrialization ambitions and bring private actors into the centre stage of the economy.
